H Potter Copper Torches Rustic Patio Outdoor Garden Torch Set of Two

I purchased 2 torches, and I intended to purchase 4 but they were out of stock. I was concerned that torch and oil reservoir was going to look ridiculously big (because the dimensions in the specs are rather big) but in the context of an outdoor setting, the scale of these torches looks about right. One certainly does not need to worry about running out of oil in the reservoir during a long evening.The pole comes in 2 pieces which at first was another concern for me, as this joint is often a weak point in the fabrication of a typical torch (or umbrella or any other item typically imported), but the 2 pieces of the pole screw together nicely, and the joint is fairly strong and subtle looking.Each torch arrived with a small base plate that could be anchored to a hard surface. The plate is not large enough or heavy enough to support the torch without anchoring it to one's deck or patio. I set my torches in the dirt of my yard and they are sturdy enough for me. I may use the base plates someday, but I do not need them now.

I bought four torches and so far they have been great!The large fuel reservoir is nice because you don’t have to re-fill as often and I think they look great around the pool in the evening.

I glued the flat base to two patio blocks (also glued with construction adhesive acceptable with moisture) and recessed in flower beds. Very solid. Finished height just under 6 feet.

Shipped and packaged perfectly. I ordered two for my rear deck. These are sturdy as well as functional so you get what you pay for. The copper receptacle is quite large and can hold a lot of fuel, so they also provide a clever insert that holds less. You get two wicks, 3/4 and 3/8 (each with an identical lid) which you can use either depending on how much flame you want. Being able to remove the entire top to fill is genius compared to using a funnel and making a mess. The post is 1 inch in diameter, giving it a solid look and feel. They provide a sturdy stand for deck mounting, just be sure to anchor it down with some bolts.

I was tired of cheap flimsy torches, so I splurged on these. There was an issue with one of the poles, and I texted the phone number provided on the receipt and received a prompt reply and replacement piece within a few days. Now that everything is set up and working as intended, I’m happy with my purchase.I specifically like that they’re generally weather proof, and I can leave them on the patio rain or shine. They’re very luminous on a dark night; and keep the mosquitos away.

I was very unhappy with the symbology this company uses of the ‘double cross’.

The torches are nice. However we ordered four and each one had to have the set screw holes bored so they would like up properly. Could not just assemble with ease. Luckily my husband is handy and he used his electric drill motor to drill into the post so the holes lined up. I also think it would be best to have the tops "screw" on to the reservoir rather than set on. Should these torches ever tip or get knocked over, the tiki oil would fly all over the place. Best to screw the cover on and have the oil contained. I hate to think of one of these torches burning and a child ran into one with a toy or motorized cart, the oil would spray all over ..... the thought makes me cringe.

This is a simple device with a oil reservoir, wick, and lid. Simple yet looks not too bad. Wick is made of fire resistant material and even running out of oil, there is no problem. It is now used in Japan, where we find no similar products available. We are thinking to buy more of this product and we plan to use in out door parties to boost the atmosphere. While the manufacture does not recommend, we just use kerosene and works just fine.
